Chapter 1: Levitation, Werewolves & Baths
"Eek!" came a cry from above. A girl with long, jet-black curled hair was falling from the fourth floor of the Hogwarts school building, knocking into & breaking several gargoyle statues, letting out cries of pain along the way.
"Aack!" screeched the girl.
"Oof!"
The girl, whom the Maurauders recognised as Lynnie Dumbledore, 6th year Ravenclaw, had landed neatly ontop of James, who was now sprawled out on the Hogwart's school grounds. All four of them knew Lynnie well, her reputation as a klutz was extremely well-known & the fact that she was Dumbledore's neice made her one of the most recognised faces in Hogwarts, next to Sirius' of course.
Lynnie's long hair was a mess, her robes had ripped in the fall, her glasses had been knocked off and her fierce green eyes now looked incredibly disoriented. James' normally messy black hair was now messier, if that was possible. Sirius was fighting back laughter. Remus' beautiful brown eyes twinkled, he was evidently amused by all this. Peter was helping James to his feet looking deadpan.
It was James who spoke first.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!" he demanded, infuriated, rubbing his sore back (where she landed).
Lynnie looked around, confused. Then realisation struck her.
"OH! Well... Funny story... IkindawaspractisinglevitationinFlitwick'sclassbutsomeonepushedmeoutthewindowandIfell.Youmakeareallygoodcushionbytheway." she said hurriedly.
"Huh?" All four boys had not understood a word she said.
"I was practising levitation charms in Flitwick's class but someone pushed me out the window. I lost concentration & fell. You make a really good cushion, by the way." she said slowly, rephrasing some parts.
Three of the boys burst out laughing at her last comment as it indicated James was fat. James, however, scowled. He glared at her and was about to retort something but before the words had left his mouth, an annoying voice piped up from behind him.
"Well, well, well... Vandalism to school property... You can expect this to be reported, Potter."
"Snivellus, keep your big, over-stuffed nose out of this..." growled James to Serverus Snape who was standing near them.
"I don't doubt that you have some lame excuse to this as always." replied Snape cooly.
"Well, slimeball, HE doesn't." retorted Sirius. "SHE does." he added pointedly, nodding toward Lynnie.
The boys parted, giving Snape full view of Lynnie, who had been hidden from his range of vision.
"Dragging the headmaster's neice into this will not save your sorry behind, Potter. I highly doubt she has any connection to a broken school building. As I recall, if there are any MORE complaints about you, you will be expelled. Am I right?"
James & Sirius let out a low growl together but the next comeback was from neither of them.
"Well, I AM involved, so sue me. And no, I will not be expelled, Snivelly, neither Potter. I can asure you that. Now get going. Its time for your bath, judging by the condition of your hair."
Snape turned a faint pink, turned around & left. The boys turned to face Lynnie, who had an expression on her face that it was no big deal.
"Aren't you scared of Serverus?" asked Peter, timidly.
"No, why would I be?" questioned Lynnie.
"I'm sure you know as well as we do the Snivellus is involved with the dark arts. He can come after you whenever he wants. And since you are a girl, he is at a great advantage." replied Remus.
At this, Lynnie Dumbledore looked highly offended. "Are you saying I can't take care of myself?"
"Um... N-No..." stammered Remus, unsure of what to say.
"Well, for YOUR information..." she stood up. The boys saw she had inherited Dumbledore's height. She was taller than Sirius and THAT was saying something. "I know how to take care of myself, werewolf. Yes, I know you're a werewolf." she added, looking at their surprised faces. "I suggest you four learn to do the same."
With that Lynnie stalked off, her long hair swishing behind her.
"You don't think she'll tell do you?" asked Remus quietly.
"How did she know?" asked Peter.
"HOW DARE SHE SAY WE CAN'T TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES!" cried Sirius and James together, infuriated.
